Deuteronomy 24:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ Pay his wages that same day before the sun sets, because he is poor and his livelihood^[a] depends on it. Otherwise, he may cry out to the Lord against you, and you will incur guilt.”

Practicing Justice

¹⁶ “Fathers are not to be put to death on account of their children’s sin; nor are children to die on account of their fathers’ sin. Each person is to be put to death for his own sin.

¹⁷ “Don’t deny justice to a foreigner or to an orphan, nor take a widow’s garment as collateral for a loan.
